본 연구의 목적은 학교체육활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 학생과 소극적으로 참여하는 학생들을 대상으로 뇌파와 두뇌활용능력의 차이를 검증함으로써 체육활동이 뇌파 및 두뇌활용능력에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 위해 초등학교 5-6학년 재학생 중 교사의 체크리스트 및 학생의 설문지를 통해 ‘학교체육활동의 적극적 참여자’ 30명과 ‘학교체육활동의 소극적 참여자’ 30명을 선정하였다. 뇌파측정도구는 한국뇌과학연구원에서 개발한 스마트 브레인(Smart Brain)을 활용하였으며, 자발뇌파(안정상태, 각성상태)와 유발뇌파(좌뇌, 우뇌) 및 두뇌활용능력(공간지각능력, 기억력)을 비교하였다. 데이터의 분석은 통계분석 프로그램 SPSS 24.0을 이용하여 전산 통계처리를 하여 각 자료의 평균 및 표준 편차를 분석하였으며, 이를 기초로 독립표본 t검증을 실시하였다. 이때 통계적 검증을 위해 설정한 α는 .05 수준(양방향 검증)이었다. 안정상태(눈을 감고 편안한 상태)에서의 뇌파는 학교체육활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 학생의 SMR파, Alpha파, Theta파가 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 각성상태(눈을 뜨고 편안한 상태)에서의 뇌파는 학교체육활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 학생의 좌․우뇌모두에서 Gamma파, H-Beta파, M-Beta파, SMR파가 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 마지막으로두뇌활용능력은 학교체육활동에 적극적으로 참여하는 학생의 기억력 및 두뇌활용능력의 인지강도가 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 이렇듯 두뇌의 활발한 움직임에 필요한 학교체육활동을학생들이 더욱 적극적으로 참여할 수 있는 방안을 마련하여야 한다.
The purpose of this study is exploring the significance of school sports activities in education. It is verified by gap of brainwave and brain utilization ability in accordance with the participation of school sports activities of elementary student. The subject of this study is seniors in ‘S’ elementary school, and I applied purposeful sampling of non-provability sampling, it was based on the participation of school sports activities. I choose 60 people (30 active participants of school sports activities and 30 passive participants of school sports activities) who agreed this research. The results are as follows. First, in order to analyze the spontaneous EEG differences, in a steady state test with eyes closed, active participants’ SMR waves, Alpha waves and Theta waves are high.
Therefore, active participants in school sports activities is much more concentrated than passive participants in school sports activities. In addition, it can be seen that memory, inspiration, intuition, learning efficiency is high. Also, in a test of alertness awakened, the active participants’ Gamma waves, H-Beta waves, M-Beta waves and SMR waves are high.
It can be seen that active participants in school sports activities are much more immersive in a specific learning or exercise. Second, in a test of evoked potential, the active participants’Gamma waves, H-Beta waves, M-Beta waves and SMR waves are high. It means that active participants in school sports activities have a balanced development of the brain. In addition, it can be seen that also happens to better thinking and acting the activities of the altitude. Third, in order to analyze the differences in the brain utilization ability between active participants in school sports activities and passive participants in school sports activities, the analysis of the memory showed a statistically significant difference only in cognitive strength. So, it can be seen that the strength of the memory of the active participants in school sports activities is higher than the memory that the strength of the passive participants in school sports activities. Therefore, school sports activities can improve the thinking ability to solve the problem, as well as cognitive recognizing accident problems such as memory, judgment. As such, active participants in school sports activities are better than passive participants in school sports activities in brainwaves and brain utilization ability. So, School sports activities will enhance the learning efficiency and learning ability improves concentration, attention, thinking.
